CONGRATULATIONS !
You are about to join an adventure full of
excitement and learning !
For the 8th year in a row, Robotics Zone01 offers an
event that is compatible with classroom teaching
and after school programming that is based on the
provincial curriculum in Quebec.
We have consistently been proud of the innovations
shown each year in solving our challenges.
RoboticsRZone
01 will always promote
b tique
perseverance, creativity, pride and innovation: this
is what we are made of!
This year, for the first time, we are offering the
documents you need in a digital format suitable for
tablets. R
We b
believe
t i cthis
s will enrich your experience
and give you easy access to information that you
need as you work on your designs. We hope you
R b enjoy
tique
the many hours of fun and learning ahead of
you. We look forward to seeing you!

GENERAL RULES
R b tics
GENERAL
DEFINITIONS
R b tique
These rules apply to ALL educational robotic challenges created by Zone 01.
Student: A student must be between 5 and 17 years of age and enrolled in a school.
R b tics
Responsible
Adult: An adult must accompany a team of students. This adult will be responsible
R b tique
for all communications relating to the co-opetition, rules of the challenges, etc. This adult may
be a parent, a teacher, an educational consultant, etc. In 2015, this adult will be a more integral
part of the team! The responsible adult may not be the principal of a school.
R b tics
Team: All students of a team must be present during the final (except in a case of illness). The
teams
be associated with a school or a parent is permitted to take the initiative in forming
R bmust
tique
a team. In this situation, the team is registered as a parent-child team and they are permitted
to participate like all other teams.
Number of students in a team:
A. Novice (LEGOR
WEDO):
b t2 itoc 4s students
B. Junior (LEGO Mindstorms) : 2 to 4 students
C. Senior (LEGO Mindstorms) : 2 to 4 students
D. Robot-Pro (Tetrix): 4 to 10 students
E. Make-Art: 2 to 4 students

REGISTRATION AND PARTICIPATION
All registrations must be submitted before the date indicated on the zone01.ca website. The
registration fees, dates and details of the final event are posted on the zone01.ca website.
When registering, teams must choose a category according to their level of education:
A. Novice (LEGO WEDO): Kindergarten to grade 4
B. Junior (LEGO Mindstorms): Grade 4 to grade 6
C. Senior (LEGO Mindstorms): Secondary 1 to secondary 4
D. Robot-Pro (Tetrix): Secondary 4, 5 and CEGEP
E. Make-Art: Kindergarten, elementary and/or secondary

team may not change their category.

ForRcertain
challenges, two levels of difficulty will be available: a white level and a black level.
All teams are automatically enrolled at the white level. On site, a team may choose to participate in
a challenge at the black level, which is more demanding, but worth more points. (The awards, for

each level, will beRpresented
R b tique
Choosing the WHITE OR BLACK LEVEL will have to be done during the first try and YOU WILL NOT
BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE LEVEL AFTERWARDS. If the black level is chosen, the team will have to
make all their trials at the black level.

Maximum teams per school
A school may enter a maximum of 12 teams per category.
A school may participate in a maximum of 24 challenges per category.
For example, a school may register 2 teams in the junior category and have each team participate
in 4 challenges, for a total of 8 challenges. Another school may register 12 teams in the junior
category and have each team participate in 2 challenges, for a total of 24 challenges. This school
would not be permitted to register all their teams for 3 challenges because this would result in
a total of 36 challenges.
The system of registration is a "first come, first enrolled" basis until the maximum number of
R bis attained.

teams in a category
Any student participating on the day of the Zone 01 event must sign an authorization sheet to
gain access to the co-opetition site. Refunds will not be issued in case of a refusal.

ZONE
01 CO-OPETITION PHILOSOPHY
The Zone 01 CO-OPETITION is a mixture of cooperation and competition. Therefore, our goal
R b tsense
i c s of teamwork, sharing and mutual respect for one another while
is to develop a student’s
allowing them to advance technologically and scientifically.
R b tique
Under the FAIR PLAY rule, all teams are asked to respect the rules of the game described in the
official document, but also to honour the essence of the game. For all challenges created by
Zone 01, the ‘gray areas’ are there to provide room for creativity. If a team interprets the rules in
R b tics
such a way as to penalize another team or to negatively influence a team’s standings, the chief
judge may ask this team to change its strategy.”

ROBOT DESIGN
To participate in the co-opetition, participants must comply with the following rules:
A. During the preparation
Teams must provide their own robotics equipment as well as their own computers and electrical
extensions.
All LEGO Mindstorms robotic systems will be permitted at the Zone 01 co-opetition. However,
the NXT and EV3Rrobotic
systems may be better adapted for the coopetition than the RCX robotic
b tique
system.

B. At the the co-opetition
To ensure the rules are followed, all robots will be inspected before the start of the challenge by
the judge. In particular, the focus will be on the dimensions and the weight of the robot.
A robot CANNOT be used for more than one team and a student CANNOT be a member of more
than one team.
Any device or equipment that may interfere with the transmission and reception of an infrared
signal, Wifi or Bluetooth will not be permitted during the event.

DESCRIPTION OF PLAYING FIELDS (SURFACES)
Specifics for the 2015 edition
The creators of the challenges make every possible effort to describe the playing fields (surfaces)

as exactly as possible.
Zone

ordering them from the website www.zone01.ca.
Although it is not mandatory to purchase these playing fields (surfaces), it is recommended in
order to calibrate
R the

t i c ssensors to their correct settings.
Some playing fields (surfaces) require a wooden construction. The drafting committee will

DESIGN IRREGULARITIES
The judges and the chief judge, may, at any time, question the design of a robot under the "FAIR
PLAY" rule.
If the chief judge finds an infraction (irregularity), the team will have 5 minutes to comply with the
rules.
If a team cannot comply within the 5 minute time limit, the team will receive "0" points for the
challenge.

If a team is registered for a specific challenge but decides not to participate, the team will receive
“0” points for the challenge.
